They actually teach Electrical Engineers to yell IEEE when shocked by high voltage

Old joke;

What do you say when you're flying a plane designed with a Pentium™?

IEEE!

(This dates back to the Pentium float bug. It's an antique)

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's not an antique until it's 100 years old, that's just a vintage joke

[–] _g_be@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

At 20 years old it's classified as Classic, like cars.

And at 21 it can drink

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

That's right before they taught us how to keep the blue smoke inside the components

Huh? This image has enough pixels to be printed on a facade-sized billboard.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's the real problem. The app he is using reduces the image to optimize memory usage, but if the image has too many pixels in either direction, it ends up decimating too much.
I ran into that issue with one of the Lemmy clients when I was trying them out, but can't remember which one it was. If I remember correctly, it should be something that you can turn off, but it can drastically slow down how long it takes to display some images.

Oh interesting, that might be it. I'm using Sync.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I was thinking it was sync, but I didn't want to call them out if I was wrong...
I suspect that it was originally written for devices with much less power and much less memory. Also reddit had upper limits on image size. So, Lemmy's yolo way of dealing with images is coming up against sync's attempts to be able to run nicely on the worst devices.

In Thunder, the preview is super blurry and unreadable, but once opened it looks fine.

I'm pretty sure the reddit app I used to use (Relay) had the same issue.

I think there's something wrong with your client or something, because for me it's great quality.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Either find the HD button or open in browser so it loads the whole thing.

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Felt that too in the preview but after opening it it worked (use eternity btw)

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Huh, have only ever seen the final form of this one. Didn't realize there was a progression.

[–] dave@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

If you take a finished product and gradually take away pieces, you can make a progression out of pretty much anything.

IEEE is also a standards organization alongside ISO, SAE, W3C and ANSI

Crab ain't too expensive? HUH

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

We're going to need some more dimensions here...

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Boundary wrapping conditions.

AAAAAH is likewise too expensive.

Tighten up those triangles dammit
